Recordkeeping for Compliance

In the construction industry, employers with more than 10 employees are required to keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. Starting this month until April, a summary of the work-related injuries from 2017, are also required to be prominently displayed in the workplace.

Although minor injuries requiring first aid only do not need to be recorded, OSHA has specific definitions and forms for recording these injuries, including:

Any work-related fatality.

Any work-related injury or illness that results in loss of consciousness, days away from work, restricted work, or transfer to another job.
